Will the wearing of the “compulsory” mask in enclosed spaces to avoid a resumption of the Covid-19 epidemic, as doctors asked in a column published on Saturday on Le Parisien, be going to become a reality? Sunday, Jean Castex, traveling in Guyana, raised this hypothesis. "The developed use of wearing a mask in enclosed spaces is under study," said the Prime Minister, who was accompanied by the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran.
The day before, the rostrum signed by different doctors sounded the alarm: “Weak signals are starting to appear and should alert us to a possible massive restart of transmissions. […] It would be very regrettable not to use these effective and accessible means which are: the wearing of the compulsory mask in all closed public places, the physical distancing as much as possible and the washing of the hands ”, wrote the practitioners. This forum was then very shared and commented on social networks.

As if to echo the relevance of their proposal, the images of a crowd of at least 5,000 people, without masks, huddled together, in a concert in Nice on Saturday evening, created controversy over the manifest absence barrier gestures.
For now, in France, the mask is compulsory in transport, but this is not the case in shops, where its prohibition or not is left to the discretion of managers.
